Worried Trump could 'go rogue' Milley took top-secret action to protect nukes

This should come as a surprise to no one. After all, when Donnie was being briefed in advance of taking office he asked THREE TIMES about nukes: "If we have them, then why can't we use them?" :omg:

Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to "Peril," a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.​
Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'​
Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write. "You never know what a president's trigger point is," Milley told his senior staff, according to the book.​
In response, Milley took extraordinary action, and called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon's war room, Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.​
"No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure," Milley told the officers, according to the book. He then went around the room, looked each officer in the eye, and asked them to verbally confirm they understood.​

Obviously, the Peace President had no intention of using them, so there's that.
 
If I were advising Sleepy Joe, I'd advise him to have such a Mad General brought up before a drumhead court martial and shot summarily. Fellows like this, if the story is true, are a danger to the rule of law as well as the safety of our country. If the Islamic State or other belligerent power realizes America wasn't able to respond, they could have launched a preemptive attack.
Had anyone launched a preemptive attack, Trump or any other president would have been justified in responding in kind with no congressional approval or other consultation needed.

We're talking about a madman with a button. I'd suggest and we now KNOW that Captain Chaos was capable of absolutely ANYTHING in those final days to remain in power.

Milley is a patriot and a hero.
 
Milley still declines comment - That means it happened.
I guess it depends on how much he wants to be hated by the liberal media by pissing on their parade

plus a confession would leave him open for legal action
 
I take it that you're being facetious. NONE of your rants is important. There is a fail-proof system and a chain of command that must be followed or we have nothing more than chaos.

For Milley to act on his own, if shown to be true, is treason, period.
Yeah you've told us it was treason - what - Five or six times now? Move along unless ya got something new to say.
 
Was it appropriate to install nuke safeguards on Nixon in his final days when he was wandering the halls mumbling in his bathrobe and drunk off his ass . The answer is YES.
Did that actually happen??
